    Wishing Well

    I wish I were a wishing well
    that goes way down below
    there would be no end to
     all the wishes I would know
    patiently i'd listen
    to people rave and rant
    and I could pick and choose
    which wishes I would grant
     a child without a family
     wants someone special in her life
    then i could be the one
    to end her of her strife
    or a husband needs a job
    because he got laid off from work
    and I could be the wishing well
    to end him of his search
    we all have wishes
    this i know is true
    i wish we all could be wishing wells
    then no one would be blue

    I can't really tell you how refreshing your voice is....and beautiful. this is again, not a metaphor I'd have ever though of, and I've never seen it used this way...to express a generosity of spirit that is truly profound. you impress me sir.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
